In that case we would need a new category which is "runner", since running is a different gait performed by walking creatures for efficiency at higher speeds whereby the weight of the animal/bot is NOT supported at all times.
Walking is controlled falling. Running is controlled bursts of flying and landing.
I certainly think that if the running gear could perform as for wheels, then it's not a true walker.
I think we should bear in mind that the regs were not put in place to prevent people from building walkers. They were there, along with the weight concession, to ENCOURAGE it. But we do need to make sure people are not exploiting loopholes just to get the extra weight "advantage" certainly.
